the next thing to do is to check and/or replace the starter the minimum starting voltage or amperage is wandering upwards i assume it did start with a jump twice.... there is a minimum starting voltage on many starters ..without reaching that limit, the battery wont connect to the starter ....you got a NEW/NEW battery ? sounds crazy, but try a well charged battery with a jump on your new battery..... could give a result........these things can be pretty wild sometimes, gotta think outside the box

Check the alternator for functionality. In situations like these, when a new battery is installed but a client is still having starting issues, it is often the alternator. The new battery runs the vehicle for a time, but it does not get recharged at a rate that replaces the energy consumed by vehicle operation, and once the vehicle is shut down the battery lacks the energy to restart the engine.
